    Q:Can this tape be used on a treaded plywood bathtub decks joints when waterproofing?

    Answer This Question

    A:  This is made for Durock cement board really. You use thinset as 'mud'. After the thinset you'd use RedGuard to waterproof. Never tried using it on plywood.

      A:  I don?t see why you couldn?t! Just use red guard for the joints after applying. All your doing is looking to seal it correct?

        Answer This Question

        A:  No man. This is a mesh tape for joining cement boards (Durock) together. I would cut out the leaking part and put a coupling in. Easy and cheap.

              Worst Product on the market
              After remodeling several bathrooms and using this tape I find no quality in this product. See attached image where tape adhesive does not hold cement application. When applying cement on this tape it frustratingly detaches from cement board and finally collapses under the weight of application. Must find alternatives to make it work. No quality, no value, just garbage resulting in loss of time, efforts and money

                Great for cement boards
                I used this to tape a shower surround of cement board and on the hardiebacker on the floor. The stickiness is convenient and I cut it with a ulitity knife. I was also able to work thinset through it in the seams. This product is key to a solid tile backing. No cracking from shifting so far

                Makes building counter tops a breeze!
                Love the self-adhesive feature of this cement board tape. Stays in place. Creates nice sharp edges for counter tops and excellent for creating round tables and edges. Very easy to work with.

                Good product
                Picked up a roll of this tape to use on all the joints of the cement backer board flooring we recently put down in our master bath. It goes down easily and I smoothed it over with a 3in1. Just be sure that there is no dust or anything before you apply it or it won't adhere properly. I am not exactly too sure how much extra help this stuff provides but hey if it improves the strength of the flooring I'm all floor it. See what I did there? You see what I did there.

                Amazingly easy to work with - does inside and outside corners with ease. Two thumbs up.
                Just remodeled our bathroom and made a shower niche with backer board. I used this self adhesive cement board tape to reinforce the inside and outside corners of the niche along with the seams of the backer board. Amazed at how easy it is to work with, sticks and stays put and even stayed put on inside and outside corners. We cut it with scissors and applied the thinset as soon as we'd finished taping the joints. There was no sign of the tape losing adhesion although the instructions recommend that you don't leave an unsealed taped joint too long before applying the thinset otherwise the adhesive bond can break down. Once the thinset was set, we applied a waterproof membrane to the shower niche and the whole job was very easy.
